I'm not confident because I'm short: shy and nervous.
Stephanie, 18, Hawkesbury
I'm not confident because I'm tall and big.
Diana, 65
It's often blokes who have an abundance of self-confidence that's not backed up by substance, while women ... tend to talk themselves down.
Michelle, 36, Glebe
I love clothes that change your mood and the way people treat you because of their amusement value or spunk factor.
Alex, 29, Alice Springs
I work in the fashion industry and remember sewing a size 10 label into something I cut from a size 12 pattern.
Michelle, 39, Eltham North
(Clothes) sizing is a pathetic travesty. Now I know the industry is run by vacuous greedy insensitive wankers who completely rely on us being insecure about our size.
Griselda, 38, Port Lincoln
"I've been a sucker for marketing that uses the words "firming", "plumping, "and "tightening".
Gail, 27, St Morris
Botox looks silly, you fools.
Jaye, 21, Sydney
Love love love my new boobs.
Alexis, 39, Bentleigh East
A friend died having her nose "done".
Helen, 62, Ivanhoe
I don't (exercise) for weight loss. I do it to stay fit. I enjoy putting in my iPod and escaping for a little while.
Alisha, 24
My anxiety gets worse with confrontation or stresses, particularly family related. What helped was medication and management techniques.
Alwyn, 32, Thornbury
(Drugs) stuffed up my life, my friendships, my ethics, my balance, everything, but they also taught me some valuable life lessons. No regrets.
Andiee, 44, Coldstream
Sometimes I feel like alcohol is the glue holding a lot of my friendships together.
Victoria, 23, Sydney
I told my kids (about the menopause) and they covered their ears and made loud humming noises till it was over.
Mandy, 52, Mitcham
My best trick is to fake it till I make it. I literally began acting the part of a knowledgeable, helpful, funny person. Now I am one. Quite possibly I always was!
Vanessa, 39, Melbourne
I struggle between wanting to be at home with the kids and wanting time away from them.
Carrie, 35, Warrandyte
I love living alone. I have no idea how I tolerated housemates or family.
Chantelle, 26, Kings Park
I just wish I didn't have to be his mother, his friend, his sex toy and his counsellor. Other than that he's a great bloke.
Marlene, 50, Bright
I knew he was gay and ignored it.
Lucy, 31, Armadale
I love that I still love my husband of 36 years.
Robynne, 56, Geelong
I wanted to leave (my abusive partner) but I just didn't know how. It wasn't until I saw him bullying my cat that I got the courage to do anything.
Valerie, 28, Paralowie
Sex is great considering he's going on 83.
Kay, 70, Casino
When I try to tell him if (the sex) feels good or not (mostly not) he gets offended.
Emily, 24, Ballina
I arrange our finances and investments. My husband says "yes, dear'.
Fifi, 34, Loganholme
I make the money and my partner tells me what I can and can't spend it on.
Katy, 28, Greenbank
I get a high from spending money. I love walking around the shops carrying shopping bags. It makes me feel rich.
Sophie, 20, Ngunnawal
I don't know what's in echinacea but I'm sure it works.
Teagan, 37, Albert Park
When will people stop spending money on things like homeopathy that simply have not been proven to work?
Nicky, 36, Newcastle
I have breast cancer. I've followed medical advice...I make the most of life when I can. Draw on the support around you, friends and family do want to help and are there to talk to and laugh or cry with.
Lisa, 46, Wollongong
I've been looking forward to being a Mrs since I was 12.
Penny, 28, Redcliffe
Taking a man's name like some sort of chattel is just outdated and ridiculous.
Liz, 26, Myrtle Beach
(The world) won't change on its own, so complaining about it won't help. You're just going to have to muck in and do it yourself!
Natasha, 34, Thornbury
